DmimeR ver .09c (Kevin Anderson 20/02/97)

Requires:

OS 2.04 or above (with asl.library in LIBS:)
base64decode (aminet/util/arc/base64?????? 
About 1mb ram should do

Files:
       DmimeR           - main executable
       StartIt          - script file to start from WB
       StopIt           - script file to stop (see below)
       watch            - dummy file (do not delete)
       DmimeR.txt       - this file
       DmimeR.readme    - derrr !!!


What it Does:

This silly little (and I mean little) program monitors
a fixed drawer (RAM:T/) for new files (mime) that are added
and uses base64decode to decode them to a user selected
drawer.

Handy for News Readers/E-Mailers that can't handle mime
encoded files.

Installation:

Just copy the file DmimeR to C: (that's it)

Usage:

There are two ways to start DmimeR:-
	1) Enter RUN >NIL: DmimeR >NIL: in a shell
	2) Click StartIt from WorkBench

When you start it a standard asl requester ask's you to
choose a decode drawer. This is the drawer where you want the
decoded binaries etc to be placed.

**** DO NOT PICK "Ram Disk" ****
This is because base64decode can't understand the space so if
you want to use ram disk or any of it's sub-drawers (i.e. t)
type Ram: or Ram:t/ manually into the requester. This goes for
any drawer names with spaces in them.

Now go to your News Reader etc and when you want to download
any mime (mime only) files for DmimeR to autodecode save them
to T: (just T: not ram:t/ etc see note below) as watch (only watch
see note below).

Every time a file is added DmimeR decodes it to your decode drawer
then deletes the original mime file. I advise you to download your
files as read (i.e. same as for straight text articles) so you can
see what type of encoding they are.

After each file is decoded a little requester will pop up and ask
you if you want to Quit or Continue. If you have finished 
downloading pick Quit and DmimeR will stop monitoring for files
and quit, but if you still have files you wish to download pick
Continue. You can download multiple files, just keep pressing
Continue after each.

If you have exited your News Reader after pressing Continue you
can quit DmimeR with the StopIt icon. All this does is copy a 
dummy watch file to T: to bring up the requester where you can pick
Quit.


***** NOTE *****

You must save the mime files to "T:" and name them as "watch" beacuse
DmimeR monitors this drawer only (pre-set internally) and executes
the command "base64decode T:watch autoname <your drawer>" your drawer 
is the only user selectable part (your decode drawer). So if you name
your files as anything other than watch or in any drawer other than
T: it will not be found. T: is assigned in your startup-sequence and is
normally set to RAM:T so you may need more memory if you download big
files.


LEGAL:
      NONE, do what you like with it. (it sucks anyway)


BUGS:

Don't know of any yet except if you load multiple copies of DmimeR and
download files etc it gets confused and can crash etc.

Some badly encoded mime files won't work, but that's base64decode.

History: (well kind of)

This was written in Amiga E v3.1i using various example src files and
guide files. I have don't have much experience in E as I have only
been using it for a week now.

I have used a few language's (i.e. Visual Basic etc) but mainly on
my PC's and wanted to do some on my Amiga so I looked through my
cover disks and found Amiga E 3.1a full version, so here we are.

My system:

A1200 (motherboard stuck in in DIY PC midi tower case)
Ext A1200 keyboard (hot wired in original case)
16mb fast ram
4 x Atapi CD-Rom
3.5" 850mb HDD
2 x floppies
Blizzard 040 40mhz acc
DeltaScan 1402 monitor (same as 1438)
Motorola 3400pro 28.8 modem
DIY Radio Modem (Packet)

......Psssst and a couple of Pentiums and some 486's (well there cheap)
